Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry have been used to investigate the mechanism of ld electrodeposition on the n-Si(111) electrode surface from a citrate bath, which had successfully applied to directly electroplate a dense ld film on the silicon surface. The results show that Au electrodeposition on the n-type silicon surface is an irreversible process, and the nucleation overpotential reaches 250 mV. According to Cottrell equation, the diffusion coefficient (D) is calculated to be (1.81 ± 0.14) × 10-4 cm2·s-1. The Scharifker-Hills (SH) model was used to analyze the experimental data. Agreement between the fitting curves and the theoretical curves confirms that the nucleation process of Au electrodeposition on the n-type silicon surface follows the progressive nucleation mechanism with three-dimensional growth under diffusion control. To further confirm the progressive nucleation mechanism, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the nucleation and growth of Au deposits at the initial stage of electrodeposition. The SEM results show that the morphology and density of the Au deposits are affected by the electrochemical deposition potential and time.
